LILAH

Silence.

Unendurable headache.

Coldness consuming my limp body.

Where the fuck am I ?

Groaning, I force my eyes open but meet with a pool of darkness. The last thing I remember is the bald dickhead hit me hard on the nut and I swooned.

When I try to clutch my head, I can't move my hands and then I realize I'm sitting on a chair with hands and legs tied. When my eyes adjust the darkness, I descry faint ray coming in the dark room from the aperture of a ventilator.

Lucy is placed in front of me, in the same position as mine, unconscious, head thrown aback and mouth hung open.

"Lucy! Get the fuck up!" I call her, wiggling my hands and legs to get them free but all my attempt pass in vain.

"C'mon bitch, we're trapped and you're snoring like a pig. Get up before I kick your indolent ass." I shout and keep wiggling in hope if the knots ever lose.

Whoever tied us up was so proficient at his job that the ties don't bulge even after the storm I caused on them, instead my hands become grievously sore.

I hear a groan from Lucy as my head snap toward her. She looks around and blinks her eyes for a moment to adjust them with the semi darkness before they land on me. She stares at me for a few moments like she's looking at me for the first time.

Does she have amnesia? Omg not now!

But suddenly her eyes widen and she starts wiggling like reality crushes over her.

"Oh my God! Where the fuck we are, Lilah?" She screams.

"In heaven." I smiled tightly.

"Stop joking! I feel awful." She wails, looking at me like a lost puppy.

"It's all your fault. If you joined me in karate and boxing, today we wouldn't have to see a day like this." I scoff.

"Stop blaming me, you nag. First of all we have to find a way to get out of this room."

"I think there's no way." I sigh.

"But there has to be—"

Lucy stops mid sentence when we hear something cracks open. Our heads immediately snap toward the source of noise and we get alert. A metallic door opens fully with a clattering sound, revealing three tall and muscular silhouettes standing at the doorway before they move their intimidating figure toward us.

When some of them, click the lights on, I instantly close my eyes for the sudden source of piercing effulgence. I hiss as my head starts hurting more.

After a few moments of clenching my eyes shut, I slowly open them and blink a few times to adjust my vision. And the first thing I meet is the bald dickhead, Dimitri and a dirty big room full of crates and two other foreign men, I recognize the curly head who pressed a piece of cloth on Lucy's face and made her unconscious. The last thing I wanted to be in a basement of a warehouse with three bulky Russians.

They men are wearing black head to toe, paler skin, dazzling eyes and dark hair. Without a doubt, every one of them is taller, more intimidating, handsome, muscular and well-built than any other man out there in the city, or should I say I've ever seen in my life.

"Why the fuck were you following me?" Dimitri is the one who speaks first with a foreign accent and a hard but sedated tone.

"To see how cowardly man you are to attack a decent woman from behind." I blatter my lashes and reply with a tight smile.

"You thought we don't know you were following us?" He ignores me before dangerously glaring at me.

"Here I thought you guys are brainless."

"What's your purpose?" He again asks with that sharp tone, ignoring my pitchiness.

"Rubbing our pussies on your bald head." Lucy blurts out before blowing a kiss toward him.

I choke on my breath hearing Lucy's words. "I can't believe you." I breathe out a loud laugh.

But my loud laugh turns to a loud gasp when a savagely fierce and outrageous slap lands on Lucy's right cheek by the curly head, making her chair overbalance on the ground. Lucy cries out in pain as she's now fallen on the ground lopsided and one of her upper arms is now sandwiched between the chair and concrete floor.

"You son of a bitch!" Lucy let out a painful and bitter scream. Her cheek instantly changes its color into deep red with five fingers printed on it immensely.

We should've feared them. They are certainly so dangerous, vicious and they won't think twice about harming-fuck that - killing us. But here we were making fun of them and laughing our asses off. We are lucky that we are still alive.

"Oh my God! Lucy, are you okay?" My eyes widen in shock as I start wiggling in the tight knots.

Lucy starts crying like a baby as tears roll down her cheeks. I bet she never got a slap like this in her whole twenty-year-old life. I seriously feel bad for her and regret bringing her with me in the first place. Lucy is not only my best friend but more than a sister to me.

I try to rip the knots off and ran toward Lucy to help her but I fail. Immense fierce shoot through my nerves as my breathing became harsh and the anger building inside me is so powerful now.

"Stop this nonsense! And you, answer the fucking questions." The curly head, let out an angry growl at Lucy before pointing his gun toward me. He has the same foreign accent as Dimitri.

"Make me." I grit my teeth so hard that it's a nanosecond away from breaking.

"So you like it rough?" His angry bloodshot eyes meet my furious ones.

One moment I'm boiling in rage and the next moment I'm thrown on the ground with a brutal force as I felt unbearable pain all over my body. My already injured head hit the concrete hard, making me scream in pain and a few small broken pieces of wood are pierced on my back and arms.

Yes, that asshole punched me so hard that I met the ground and the chair is now broken under me.

"No! You asshole, how dare you?!" Lucy let out a deafening scream, making me hiss in pain more.

No doubt this girl is good at screaming.

Suddenly the man's phone buzz. He quickly answers the call and starts talking in his mother tongue which I assume is Russian. All of a sudden, his eyes blaze in rage and shoot directly at me.

"Where the fuck is Landon? Ty suka, you're dead tonight!" He yells and makes his way toward me furiously before kicking me on the stomach. [Russian - you bitch]

I whimper in pain and try to clutch my stomach but my hands and legs are violently tied.

When another blow comes, Dimitri stops the fussing man and warns calmly. "Stop, Andrey. We need these sluts alive for a while."

I look at Lucy who's already looking at me with wet eyes holding a storm of agony. I silently request her to come down and promise I won't let anything happen to her.

I made plan for years to reach them. Everything was going well until Dimitri somehow got to know that we were following him and fucked up my plan.

"YA dumayu, chto boss dolzhen vstretit'sya s gostyami." Dimitri suddenly speaks, making the two men look at him unbelievably. Lucy and I look at them puzzlingly with mouth slightly open.

[Russian - I think, the boss should meet the guests.]

Obviously we don't know Russian. So we understand nothing and this makes me more angry wanting me to rip off my own hair. I'm so angry at myself right now. Like hands and legs tied and beaten by a Russian scoundrel in the middle of somewhere were the last thing in my plan.

"Ty chertovski shutish', pravil'no ? Pochemu my dolzhny bespokoit' yego s takoy glupoy problemoy? On budet ochen' rasstroyen, yesli my ne reshim etot vopros samostoyatel'no." The buzz cut, standing next to Andrey speaks with a hard tone, pointing a finger at us.

[Russian- You fucking kidding, right? Why should we bother him with such a silly issue? He'll be very upset if we don't solve this matter on our own]

All of them silently pass looks like they're talking to each other passively and then glare at us for the last time before walking out of the basement, leaving us dumbfounded.

I let out an angry and frustrated groan as soon as they are gone. I try to calm my ragged breathing and pounding heart.

But they surely are brainless.

"Lucy, can you help me to untie the knots? Can you move you hands?" I whisper to Lucy who seems to try to move her hand a bit immediately to examine.

"Yes, I can."

"Then listen to me carefully. We've to do this within a few minutes until someone comes." I speak as I crawl to her until her back is facing me.

Lucy is lying on her side and her hand tied behind the chair, so basically she can untie me using her hands though it'd be very difficult as one of her upper arms is pressed to the ground. I have to sit behind her back so that she can use her tied hands to loosen mine.

I quickly turned around and now our hands are face-to-face. I stretch my hands more to Lucy who starts losing the knots blindly. It's quite impossible because she's facing away and not able to see while working with the ropes.

"I can't! It's so fucking tight."

"Try harder, bitch."

But somehow she successfully unties me and I sigh heavily in relief.

"Thank God, you did it!" I breathe out a small laugh.

"Yeah." I feel her wide and proud smile.

I quickly untie my legs and then release Lucy. We both are injured badly but I'm virtually bleeding. Lucy got some cuts but they aren't as deep as mine.
